NHL players make counterproposal

NEW YORK — The NHL and the players’ association will start the new year right where they ended the old one — at the bargaining table.

The sides got together Monday for the first time since Dec. 13, and the union brought along a counterproposal in response to the 288-page contract offer the NHL presented Thursday. There were some discussions between the negotiators inside the league’s midtown Manhattan headquarters and some time spent apart in internal caucuses.
